Company Overview

Total Solutions Group (TSG) is not just a manufacturer; they are a highly specialized structural engineering firm renowned for designing and building the most complex, bespoke staging and truss architectures in the world. Based in Birmingham, UK, TSG is the quiet powerhouse behind massive, custom-built stadium tours, theatrical automation, and complex kinetic structures.

While they manufacture standard truss (like their legendary OV series), their true specialty is solving impossible staging problems. If a massive pop star wants a stage that unfolds like a flower, flies over the audience, and supports twenty tons of video walls, TSG are the engineers who calculate the math, weld the custom aluminum, and guarantee it won’t collapse.

They are heavily relied upon for their ‘Roof Systems’ and ‘Ground Support’ towers—massive structural grids designed to safely suspend hundreds of moving lights and line-array speakers outdoors in high-wind conditions.

Core Technologies

📐

Bespoke Kinetic Engineering

They have an entire division dedicated to custom fabrication, building automated, moving stage elements that require aerospace-level structural tolerances.

🏗️

High-Capacity Ground Support

Their specialized ground support towers use massive, reinforced aluminum bases and chain-hoist integration to safely lift massive lighting roofs into the air without the need for cranes.

📋

Strict Eurocode Compliance

Every single piece of bespoke architecture is heavily audited and tested against the strictest Eurocode structural engineering standards before it ever hits a stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ‘Ground Support’?

In a stadium, you can hang lights from the ceiling. In a field, there is no ceiling. Ground support refers to building massive aluminum towers that act as ‘legs’ to hold up a temporary structural roof grid over a stage.

Why use custom fabricated truss?

Standard truss is straight. If a designer wants a stage shaped like a giant spiral or a massive dome, TSG has to physically roll, bend, and custom-weld the aluminum tubes to match the exact geometry while maintaining structural safety.

What is Eurocode?

Eurocodes are the harmonized technical rules specifying how structural design should be conducted within the EU, ensuring that a massive stage won’t collapse under wind or weight loads.
